Hey all- I've just now started ripping into building Android apps, and it's a lot of fun- But as extensive as the API documentation is, there are a couple things that I can't quite tell if they're possible or not, and I'd really like to utilize them for a some personal projects.
1- Is there a way to programmatically retrieve the number of an incoming call? I saw information on how to react to the event, but there was nothing in there that gave the actual phone number. This may have been thought of before, but I was thinking about using the incoming phone number to cross-ref with an online db of telemarketer phone numbers, and maybe have the phone blink the background red or something as a way of warning. Really simple idea, could probably rig it up via jabber (to a bot on a webserver that could handle the more complex interactions with the database and just fire bac a result)- But I'm missing that one critical component- The actual phone number. 2- I've been fooling around with an alternate keyboard layout- Sort of a mobile DVORAK for traditional 12-key keypads. The idea on this one would be to do away with the "abc,def,ghi" system and come up with a mapping that minimizes the ungodly wait between letters when you have to type, for instance, "fed", and the cursor has to blink a couple times before moving to the next position. Android seems like an ideal match for this, if I could just somehow swap out the system keymapping with my own- But the documentation on keycharactermap doesn't really give any pointers on how to create my own. Is this possible/undocumented? Or is it something that Android hasn't/won't open up to developers via the SDK? Much appreciated:) -Alex --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
